Example applications are:
  
   * __In-field reprogramming__. After your customer started using your microcontroller based product, it is always possible that a software update needs to be made. For example to enable new features or to resolve an existing problem. With OpenBLT you can easily reprogram the software program, even on location at the customer.   * __In-field reprogramming__.

   * __Calibration stage__. While fine-tuning your software program, you optimize parameters of your software program. OpenBTL can be used to quickly reprogram the optimized calibration parameters.   * __Calibration stage__. While fine-tuning your software program, you optimize parameters of your software program.

-  * __Starter kits__. By preloading the bootloader on a microcontroller starter kit, the end user does not need to purchase an expensive debugger interface. It is also not necessary to include an on-chip debugger on the started ​kit board. This lowers the cost price of the starter kit, making it more appealing for the end user.+  * __Starter kits__.
